A message from Chris Johnson: Reflecting on the nature of Jubilee Ministry and our call to serve
For the past two years the conversation around poverty alleviation has focused on the introduction of asset-based community development as a foundational basis for ministry.
While the introduction of this language to help frame our work is relatively new, the actual practice finds its roots in our 1982 organizing mandate – “a joint discipleship in Christ with poor and oppressed people where ever they are found, to meet basic human need and to build a just society.”
At its very core Jubilee Ministry is relational ministry.
